The A31p has a i810 with a random number generator. When using Linux the
i810_rng driver is loaded and the hardware is found.
However when reading the hardware register the data available bit is never
set. The chip responds properly to the enable bit - it just never generates
any random data.
It it supposed to work? If so is there some magic which the Linux driver is
not doing?
Anyone gotten the random number generator to work?
